  1. And in an instant the Giant became a dinosaur before it actually hits the market. This show continues to surprise me and I really hope it comes back, Because I am dying to see what will happen with Mutiny GRRRL Power and the Coder Monkeys.
  2. I have to say I was wondering about this as well. Does anyone know about building during this time period and would an attempt be made to create a structure or lay rail over a frozen river? To what end would this serve? Once spring comes, the track would fall in. Shouldn't they have been attempting to make the parts for a bridge and then assemble the bridge in the spring? I really thought that I must be missing somehting after I saw this scene.
  3. Ahhh. Really hoping that the character comes back. I want to know if he survived the bear attack. I know that it is often very expensive for TV production to continually change the opening sequence for a show. So, I figured that if he wasn't listed at all he might be gone from the show entirely.
  4. The one thing that you can count on in Hell on Wheels is that it is NOT predictable. I did not think Ellam (sp?) dead. I was watching for Common's name in the credits and when I did not see it, I figured he was gone. That sucks. I hated the recast of Cullen's wife. The original actress had an innocence in her face and had good chemistry with Cullen. The new girl, her teeth were too white, her eyebrows too plucked (denoting modern in my eyes, especially because she is supposed to be a Mormon),and she did not have that sweetness or purity that the other actress brought. The recast of the mother was the same. She was too outspoken. The original woman was more passive and quiet. Submissive. These issues so took me out of the scenes, when I was really looking forward to the opener. Sick of the Swede and cannot wait until he is exposed to the Mormon people. I wonder what they will do. Will they keep him on? Crushed about Eva and I want her to rise up. Maybe she could open a little store or something. That giant guy that attacked her, he tried to attack the reporter too. I wonder if he is a serial killer and rapist and the reporter will write the story about him and help solve the crime? I am now wondering about the murders in Boston and Mickey. Seems he has serious issues too. That's Hell on Wheels for ya!
  5. I was a Freshman in College in '82-'83 and had little to no computer access (NEVER thought of buying one) except in the Theatre office (my major) to help make programs for shows (we STILL typed out some text and then hand cut and paste the layout-hee) and the MOST important thing was to make our resumes for acting jobs with clunky dot-matrix "fancy fonts" woo-who! I still have a copy from that time period. I never even considered a personal home computer until about 1991 or so when I bought one from a big box electronics store and got royally bent over to the tune of around $3600. I only wanted it for data-processing, graphic layouts,and burgeoning "email". I remember thinking, "What is this internet and how can we find things on it? Where is it?" lol The more interesting thing was my high school got ONE Apple 2 (I think that was the model) in 81'-82. My school was rural and very small. Our only math teacher was quite brilliant and taught ALL of the advanced/college math courses. He decided to teach himself programming (so that we could do something with this bright and shiny Apple in our classroom) and he determined that we would create a children's game on the Apple. Each student's group was responsible for creating the graphic of a Sesame Street character and we had to write the code for each pixel of our picture on the screen. What the game did was each pixel is assigned a numeric value and a random number generator would fill in pixels on the screen, randomly. When a child thought they knew what the picture was, they could press the space bar and type in the name of the character. If they were correct, the picture filled in. If not, individual pixels continued to fill in, until the picture was completed, or the child got the answer correct. I think that we had programmed at least 5 characters. Upon reflection, it actually seems like a cool game for young kids. I remember thinking (when we were doing this project), how it might be a very lucrative job to go into. You know, computers and such. ;)
  6. I think that they gave away the final paring on the previews for next week too. Arrgh.
  7. WOW. I have been liking the show since the beginning, and it was awesome last week and mind blowing this week. Poor Donna! Cannot wait to see where this all goes. Totally keyed into the Flock of Seagulls song in the background of the hotel scene. I love that song (Space Age Love Song) and have it on my iPod.
  8. PISSED! Tasha just reached my CirieGoddess level of love! I imagine that we will see her back again on the next favorites show (I can only hope)!
